My Son-in-law Is A War God
Chapter 1117 - 1118: Maple King

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1118: Maple King

Duanmu Lin, after reading the invitation letter, immediately went to find Zhou Yinque.

He insisted that Zhou Yinque must go.

War God was too high and too distant, and couldn’t be bothered constantly.

However, the boss of the Yanzi Sect Business Group was much closer, at least for now in Chaoyang City, and the Yanzi Sect was king.

If Zhou Yinque could build a good relationship with the boss of the Yanzi Sect Business Group, that would be great.

Zhou Yinque repeatedly declined, not wanting to go.

Eventually, Duanmu Lin actually knelt down to persuade him.

Zhou Yinque, truly irritated, finally agreed, figuring he might as well treat it as a vacation to Maple Island.

He had indeed been very tired recently.

On the day of departure, Jiang Meng and Zhou Yinque were arranged in the best private car.

Xiao Chen and Ilana were also in the same car.

"I’m telling you, Ilana, we are only going for three days, and you’re bringing so many cosmetics and clothes, are you planning to open a shop?"

Xiao Chen was speechless, "I’ve told you before, the boss cares about your abilities, not your looks or figure, how do you not understand?"

"What you say doesn’t count."

Ilana said, "Besides, don’t worry, I’m not going to wreck someone’s home, this is just a sign of respect."

Xiao Chen shook his head and couldn’t bother with her anymore.

It was clear that she could easily wave her hand and find an excellent man for a boyfriend, yet she always aimed too high, and might end up being single for life.

"Honey, it seems like your boss really values you, doesn’t he?"

Jiang Meng asked with a smile.

"Of course, how could the boss not value such an outstanding man like me?"

Xiao Chen boasted.

"Just said a couple of words and you started bragging. I think the boss is just giving face to Jiang Meng, after all, Xinmeng Group is doing so well, and cooperating could be extremely beneficial for the development of Yanzi Sect Business Group."

Ilana said, "Oh, I forgot to ask, what exactly does the boss look like?"

Xiao Chen pointed at himself and said, "Not in the distant sky, but close at hand."

"You aren’t saying you are the chairman, are you?"

Ilana was speechless.

This guy really could brag.

"It really is me, don’t disbelieve it. So that’s why I’m saying, Sister Ilana, you really shouldn’t invest too much emotion, because I really won’t fall for you."

Xiao Chen said very seriously.

"If I didn’t know you, I might have believed that."

Ilana glared at Xiao Chen and said, "When I see the boss, I must tell him to his face, you are such an unreliable man."

"Suit yourself."

Xiao Chen shrugged.

"Alright, honey, stop teasing Aunt Ilana."

Jiang Meng also said with a wry smile.

It seemed that he also didn’t believe Xiao Chen was the chairman, the boss of the Yanzi Sect Business Group.

Yanzi Sect Business Group chartered a plane, flying the group’s employees to Maple Island.

The whole process took only three hours.

On Maple Island, the scenery was indeed uniquely beautiful.

In Xiongcheng City, the weather had already turned cool and leaves had yellowed, but here, the view was still full of lush greenery and flowers.

Xiao Chen booked the most luxurious hotel closest to the beach, which reportedly cost two hundred thousand a night for a room.

The employees were all stunned.

Had the company not been paying, they really wouldn’t dare to stay in such a luxurious hotel.

The hotel staff warmly welcomed Xiao Chen and the others, and provided the necessary security services.

"Do we really need to arrange for bodyguards just because we are going out for a trip?" Ilana curiously asked the hotel staff.

"You might not know, but while this place used to be safe, ever since five years ago when someone calling himself the Maple King came along, things haven’t been peaceful.

If you don’t bring bodyguards, it is very dangerous.

Still, I hope you all stay within the areas we recommend and avoid trying street food or dine-in stores.

Once cheated, we can’t help you.

The Maple King is terrifying, and a scoundrel at that. He acts without speaking a word, and just last year, a billionaire was murdered here.

It’s suspected to have been the work of the Maple King, but no evidence was ever found."

Hearing the hotel manager’s words, everyone felt somewhat dispirited. Coming here for fun yet having to be restricted was truly annoying.

Nevertheless, their lives were more important. With the principle of not causing trouble to the company, they decided to follow the map provided by the hotel for touring and dining.

Meanwhile, in a scenic estate on Maple Island.

The Maple King was chatting with Duanmu Yun from the Duanmu Family of the Aristocratic Clan of Chaoyang City.

"So, I will rely on you, Maple King. Once the task is accomplished, you will receive ten million as a reward. You just need to kill this person."

Although the Aristocratic Duanmu Family is wealthy,

ten million means nothing to them, but not for the Maple King.

He is not well-educated, serving merely as a tool for others.

In charge of violence, the money he makes a year probably isn’t even ten million.

For him, the money from the Duanmu Family was significant indeed.

"Haha, the Duanmu Family is really generous. Okay, I’ll accept the money, and I will take care of that person for you."

The Maple King looked at the photo on his phone, which was of Xiao Chen.

The Duanmu Family had already started moving to eliminate Xiao Chen, to remove a future threat.

Previously they had failed to alter Xiao Chen’s files, now they would use a more ruthless approach. After all, War God had seen their note, and since there had been no objections, that meant it was permissible.

"I look forward to the good news," Duanmu Yun said with a smile.

Back at the hotel, everyone settled into their rooms. The first two days, everyone could tour freely, with all expenses covered by the company.

It was only on the third day, during the grand opening ceremony, that Xiao Chen would truly make an appearance.

Xiao Chen was accompanying Liu Hong on a tour around the hotel, comforting each employee.

Oddly enough, he walked in front of Liu Hong.

He carried himself just like a real boss.

Seeing this, Ilana was quite dissatisfied.

However, in front of Liu Hong, it wasn’t appropriate to say anything.

She only murmured quietly to Jiang Meng, "Look at your husband, to those unaware, they would think he’s the boss. He shows no respect, how can he let the president walk behind him?"

"Aunt Ilana, don’t mind it, Xiao Chen hasn’t worked in the company before, he might not understand these things. Since President Liu doesn’t mind, you shouldn’t either."

Jiang Meng didn’t really see a problem.

Her husband didn’t need to bow and scrape in front of others. If it came to it, she could support him for a lifetime; what’s wrong with that?

She knew the sacrifices Xiao Chen had made for her.

"Jiang Meng, you are really too forgiving. Xiao Chen’s sweet talk must have deceived you. I really don’t understand what you see in such a man," Ilana said, exasperated.

"President, there’s a big trouble, sir!"

Just then, a person ran over in a panic, shouting towards Liu Hong.

And his head was bleeding profusely, clearly having been attacked.

"What happened?" Xiao Chen asked coldly.

Someone daring to harm his staff had grown weary of living.
